A Toronto bank teller realises they're about to be robbed, and steals a good chunk of money for himself, but the culprit, who's also psychopathically violent, catches on. The teller is Elliot Gould and the killer a mascara wearing Christopher Plummer. Meanwhile Gould gets mixed up with fellow worker Susannah York (Superman, The Shout, A Month in the Country, Images, They Shoot Horses, Don't They?, The Killing of Sister George, Tom Jones, Freud, Tunes of Glory) who's having an affair with a married arsehole. Then Céline Lomez comes along...
Quite exciting and engrossing thriller with funny moments (head in fish tank), written by Curtis Hanson (from Anders Bodelsen novel 'Think of a Number').
Hanson took over directing when Duke walked off the film. It's quite enjoyable. John Candy's in a supporting role.
Weirdly, Plummer appears to be wearing mascara even before he goes into drag.
